The book, the inkwell and the feather

Thanks Diwakarji, for being a greatest motivation in my life. After I read the story u shared, it inspired me to find a story that has good value in it and share here as well as to my baby.
Stories are such a wonderful way to convey to anybody irrespective of ages. Here is one such story which has a value of co operation and positivity.

Once upon a time , there was an empty storybook. The book had an impressive attractive cover, looked great but the pages were empty.

Children and grown ups picked the book with anticipation, but found no stories inside , they kept the book aside. There was a lovely inkwell, full of ink. He was forgotten by its owner and it was there in some corner.The inkwell and the story book cursed their bad luck,

and spent their days.

As luck would have it, the book was thrown away, that ended up next to the inkwell.

They both exchanged their sad stories and lamented about their bad luck.

After a few days passed , there was a beautiful swan feather floated down and landed next to these two.

Having fallen from his swan, the feather felt lonely and abandoned for the first time in his life. He cried and cried, Hearing his cries the book and the inkwell joined in, letting out all their sadness at the years of neglect.

But unlike his friends, the swan feather soon tired of crying, he decided to improve his situation. Drying his tears, and stopping complaints, he started to think about the ideas to make their lives better.

He thought about it quietly, clearly and calmly and then he came up with ideas, clearly seeing how the three of them , working together, could achieve a lot more than just complaining and wasting their valuable time.

He convinced his friends to write a story. The storybook opened up his best pages, the inkwell didnt spill and the feather contributed great thoughts and beautiful writing. Together they managed to write a lovely story about three friends

who helped each other to improve their lives.

Then a young teacher who passed the friends, thinking about how to get his pupil's attention, found the story written by them so interesting.He picked the three friends( the book, the inkwell, the swan feather) and went to his school.

when the lessons began he told the story written by them and they students were all so attentive and loved the story.

Every night from then on, feather , storybook and the inkwell got together and wrote a new story for the young teacher.

They felt so happy to have changed their fates with the help of hardwork and co operation.

Moral:

Positivity , striving to make it better , always yeilds great results. Co operation is strength.
Time is precious. Instead of complaining we can try to think of the solutions of the problems and improve the situations.
